Windows 95 problem



I have installed a two year old version of Slackware Linux.  The operating 
was DOS 6.1.  After a struggle getting Linux to recognize my CD (Sony 33A on 
port 0x320), I solved the problem using LOADLIN with the appropriate 
arguments.  I could not use LILO because the driver for my large hard driver 
has taken residence in my MBR.  I would get a message using LOADLIN that 
memory was tight, but it worked.  I subsequently loaded Windows 95 onto my 
system and I now get a message that there is not enough memory to load the 
kernel.  I thought "OK, Windows 95 is a pig, I'll just boot from a DOS 6.1 
boot floppy and run LOADLIN from there".  The same error message. Does 
anyone out there have a suggestion?

Thanks

Karl
